At a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about Russian President Putin's motivations in dialogues with the US about the war in Ukraine.
00:00Specifically for President Trump, though, what do you think Putin's motivation is to try to do something for President Trump, as opposed to just resolving the conflict?
00:10I think, as I just spoke to in my opening remarks, Kelly, Russia and all countries around this world actually respect the United States again.
00:17And the President is using the might of American strength to demand that respect from our allies, our friends, our adversaries all around the world.
00:27And we've seen that not just lead to progress with Russia and Ukraine, but also we've seen it in the closing of seven global conflicts around the world as well.
00:36We've seen it with the release of hostages in Gaza.
00:38We've seen it with the end of the conflict between India and Pakistan, which could have resulted in a nuclear war if we had not had a President who believed in the strength and the leverage that comes with the job of being the President of the United States of America.
